WTIU Kids 24-7 channel! Available over-the-air for free on Channel 30.5 wtiu.org/kids wtiu.org/kids Don’t Forget the Indiana College Tax Credit for 2019 Giving Now that the tax laws have changed, taking advantage of annual charitable contributions is more difficult. Most of us won’t have given enough to qualify for a deduction on our 2019 federal taxes. If that describes your situation, you should know about the Indiana College Tax Credit. Indiana University is a state college/university and WTIU is licensed to Indiana University. Therefore, your contributions to WTIU qualify under this program. It’s better than a deduction—it’s a credit that reduces the tax you owe. If, for example, you were to make a $400 gift to WTIU, you could claim a $200 tax credit on your Indiana state taxes (if you file jointly), and up to $100 in credit on a $200 gift if you file singly. The tax credit comes right off the top of what you owe in state taxes. Take advantage of this tax benefit by filling out Form CC-40 (downloadable from www.IN.gov/dor) and include it with your tax return filing. It’s money back in your pocket! Follow these four easy steps: Step Step Step Step
1: 2: 3: 4:
Send in a gift to WTIU. Make your check out to Indiana University Foundation/WTIU. Feel good for supporting public television! File the CC-40 form. Feel even better when the state of Indiana reduces your taxes!
Why does the state do it? Because strong annual support from donors like you is vital to WTIU—and our universities and colleges are vital to the state…but you already know that! To discuss ways of making a tax-advantaged gift to WTIU, call (812) 856-3964 or go online to wtiu.org/support.

Horsepower: Indiana’s Equine Industry Monday, December 2 at 8pm Horsepower: Indiana’s Equine Industry reveals Indiana’s rich history with horses and horse racing. A stalwart in Indiana, Standardbred racing dates back to the mid-1800s, with events occurring at many county fairs across the state. In exploring this tradition, the program looks into the Hoosier experiences which have produced some of the most famous and celebrated horses in history. The documentary also covers Standardbred, Thoroughbred, and Quarter Horse races that have retained massive popularity today at venues like the Indiana Grand and Hoosier Park. In addition to racing, the film presents a comprehensive overview of the equine industry. The role of work horses is explored, particularly as they are used by the Indiana Amish population, who depend on them. The
program also looks at Quarter Horses, which are the preferred breed for most equine competitions and shows. Finally, the documentary helps viewers understand the broader economic and cultural impact of the equine industry on the Hoosier state, including the multimillion-dollar business of the 7,000 race horse breeders across the state. The film also highlights programs and services created by Purdue University and Saint Mary of the Woods College that help to further the advancement of the equine industry. Production support for Horsepower: Indiana’s Equine Industry comes from Smithville. Learn more about the program at wtiu.org/horsepower.
